“ A small town staple! We’ve been coming for years & it’s our go-to spot in Auburn. Try the chili, prime rib sandwich, sweet potato fries (with special sauce), and of course the homemade cheesecake. This is the type of place that becomes a regular stop. Whenever we have people visiting from out of town, we bring them here. Owner, Van, and staff are all welcoming & make our visits. ”
“ We were recommended to visit this place by a local friend, and it did not disappoint. EVERYTHING that we had was absolutely delicious, but the chicken tenders, their homemade ranch and SEASONED waffle fries were definitely the highlights. It was like eating real southern fried chicken and less like what one would typically think of skimpy chicken tenders. There certainly was nothing skimpy about our meal in any sense of the word: The portions are large and the prices were more than fair. We will definitely come back when we are in town again! ”
“ The staff is fantastic and so friendly! The beer selection is amazing. You can go here and always find something new that you’ve never had. Pricing is great. And the food is exceptional. Always on point and expertly prepared. Shown on the photo is a Turkey club with avocado and their seasoned fries that are outstanding. I am so glad to have such a nice local place to be able to frequent. ”
“ Super delicious! Stopped by for lunch/early dinner and everything was so tasty and fresh! We enjoyed the fish dinner, cheeseburger and seasoned fries, and curry chicken mango sandwich with sweet potato fries and that special sauce! ”
“ My God that food was AMAZING!!!!! Very clean inside and friendly service. They have an open kitchen which is a first for me in a bar. Lord only knows what goes on in a closed kitchen in a bar so it's nice to see the cook isn't doing anything sketchy. Cook was very skilled and also friendly! I cannot stress how amazing the food was. I've never had "bar food" at this level. Only downside is they were out of wings but that's probably because they just have to be that damn good! ”
“ Had a great meal here. I had the Rubin sandwich and the wife had the Club salad. Attentive and friendly service. Passing through on our way south and stopped in for dinner. The menu has a good selection and nicely priced. Auburn is a great exit to stay over for the night. ”
“ Spending the night on our way north, asked at the hotel for local ideas after seeing Mimi’s when we googled. They weren’t familiar with the place so we decided to try it out. Looks like a bar with tables, great beer selection, Thursday Friday and Saturday dinner specials included grilled Mango Mahi. Excellent! I tried to buy the cole slaw recipe it’s so good and try the sweet potato fries with a unique dipping sauce. Highly recommended. ”
“ Tenderloin was amazing. Poppers was amazing. Fish was amazing. The tarter sauce I feel was missing some excitement that the rest of the meal had. The root beer was a great pairing to both meals. ”
